Kona actually had a Pro patch since day one.

All PS4 Pro enhanced games (native support and boosted)
- Thread starter Liabe Brave

For real ?. Is it possible that enabling "boost mode" on a game (like Kona) that already has a Pro patch could cause frame rate, pacing issues ?. I started with boost enabled and restarted 20 minutes in because it felt so stuttery, shit felt noticeable smoother after, but maybe i just imagined it.

The specifics of Boost Mode improvements are listed in a separate post from the official support. There's a header for them, but the easiest way to distinguish the lists is the Boost Mode title bars being light instead of dark.
It's very unlikely that Boost Mode would interfere with official support. However, with games like Kona or Dead Island where framerate is not totally solid in any mode, your results may vary from instance to instance. How smooth they are crucially depends on what's onscreen, so a run through the same area might give different results if not exactly identical. I can say the bump in both these games is there, but isn't particularly large. Natural variability from run to run may swamp the generalized improvements.
I've updated the OP, but despite it being nearly a week since the last update I couldn't add much. Since I don't have a Pro myself, I count on material uploaded to this thread or elsewhere on the internet, and there just hasn't been much new recently. Anyone who's found this resource useful, if you own any games I haven't included, it would be great to get 4K shots from various modes. This is especially true for the games in tables 3 and 4 of the OP, or for anything released recently.
Thanks again for all your help, and please let me know if you have any suggestions for the thread. Much appreciated!
Whaaaaaat? If there's a person in the world who deserves one, it's you, as you've built the most extensive Pro database out there. Come on Sony, throw this man a bone.

Well, Bethesda are currently running a contest where you can win a Pro customized with Prey artwork on it, along with the game and a 4K HDR TV "To enjoy it in its complete glory". That's not a definite "yes", but it certainly strongly suggests it'll have support. I can't find where they've announced any official details, though.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Does The Walking Dead: A New Frontier have any kind of Pro enhancements ?
Ofcourse it will, any game released after pro launched will have some form of pro support. This excludes rereleases or western releases of older games that came before Pro, like Yakuza and Persona.
There have been several games launched since the Pro that have no support.
Apparently not.
Apart from Yooka Laylee*, what other retail release has launched since October without Pro support ?
*obviously excluding Japenese localised releases i.e. Persona 5, Yakuza 0 etc.
Not sure, but I've definitely read some that have no enhancements.
Probably some in this very thread.
I think Styx was mentioned in this thread.
Ah yes, Styx. Well, there do seem to be the odd exceptions with smaller name titles - but as far as the vast majority of retail releases go, I think Pro enhancements should be expected.

Anybody has tried Risen 3 with boost mode?

You may want to check the Boost Mode list! Minor framerate improvements reported; let me know if you see otherwise.
LEGO City Undercover also seems to have no official support, just Boost Mode. (Though the difference between Boost and "official support but not much" is rather ephemeral.)
I've seen no reports on it. If you check it out, it'd be great if you can post shots/videos/impressions. Thanks!
Seems like a toss up now, since the very similar title Styx: Shards of Darkness did not.

To be fair Bethesdas Pro support has been better than most.

Great to hear a smaller dev take the time to look after an older game. Bravo.

EDF 4.1 on Boost also sees a huge improvement with loading times compared to boost off.
The developer presentation that leaked last year mentions "All PlayStation 4 titles released October 2016 or later should support both the original PlayStation 4 system and the Neo system", but that refers to games running on both systems, not having to support the Neo in some sort of proper manner. This was reiterated a few months later in "The Ultimate FAQ", which states "virtually all new PS4 game releases moving forward will be able to take advantage of PS4 Pro capabilities on day one, or in some cases shortly after launch via a downloadable update" (emphasis mine). In fewer words, there was never a mandate, just a misunderstanding -- PS4 Pro support is merely encouraged.

Bioshock Infinite has a more stable framerate. It's in the OP!

My bad. I was viewing the OP in single post view. Didn't see the second post had more.
Little Nightmares: 1080p/30 fps on PS4 and 1620p/60 fps (stable 70% of the time) on PS4 PRO.
Not sure if supersampled.

Was worried about an un-stable framerate, but the article says that it dips between 50-60fps so hopefully it will be fine. Will wait and see how the PC version fairs before getting it!

That's honestly a pretty great performance bump. Nice work devs!
The combination of that resolution and framerate bump is a pretty big improvement.

I feel like I want to support this game just for developers showing great support like this. Don't even know what the game is about but I'll probably show them some love.
Wish all devs cared this much about their work :>
Just HDR? That's it?

HDR has nothing to do with Pro so they didn't even answer the question

Yeah, they gave the same sort of response to someone else https://twitter.com/gossiptime_206/status/854970248335839232 I guess we'll have boost mode to smooth things out

Any word on Prey's PS4 Pro feature set?

It's damn shame if it's not supersampled, as non-4K owners only get a half of the benefits.

This is a bit weird, they patched the crashing in boost mode, but not actual Pro support

Was probably a simple fix versus lots of work.
If we can't get a patch for Witcher 3 after they made a couple 100 million off ps4 users then SOMA not getting an update seems reasonable.
Can't find details anywhere on this. I'd imagine improved stability, improved graphical details, and somewhere around 2K resolution.
Demo's out now though!

I know hardly anybody plays it (but I love it!) but has anybody had problems with Dangerous Golf mode crashing with boost mode on or off? I have boost mode on and it keeps crashing after a round - and I keep forgetting to turn boost off before I play to check if it's an issue.
